Probability
=number of successful outcomes/number of possible outcomes.
A standard deck has 4 kings and 52 cards.
What constitutes a successful outcome is drawing a king.
The number of possible outcomes is the number of cards in a deck.
So use the definition given at the beginning to find the probability of success (drawing a king).
Suppose you draw one card from a single deck of cards.
(a) What is the probability that you draw an king? Round your answer to 3 significant digits*.
